ASCLD

American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors (ASCLD)

I operate a private forensic lab and am not associated with police agencies.

Classified military data, confidential plaintiff or defense theory, or any data in my case files shall never be subjected to review by ASCLD personnel for accreditation.

If allowed, this would place me in violation of government confidentiality agreements, and the confidentiality which every client is entitled to.

I voluntarily adhere to the generally accepted standards and protocols put forth by the Association of Firearms and Tool Mark Examiners (AFTE).

Ballistics Evidence

The lack of evidence can be as important as the abundance of evidence in proving or disproving a set of facts or version of events.

Scientific Method

Use of generally accepted protocols and standards able to withstand a Daubert Challenge.

Quality Results

Nothing will be overlooked, no stone will be left unturned.
